The collection, inspired by Williams' own treasures from her travels around the world, fuse function and fashion for the tabletop and make for easy entertaining.

The products range from linens, glassware and dinnerware to place-card holders and cachepots. The collection, which includes more than 120 SKUs, also incorporates stylish solutions for the home including a hand-stitched leather charging station and guest towel holders.

"Because the collection is very well thought out and designed to mix and match the pieces, people can really make it their own," said Bunny Williams. "Hosting is not meant to be stressful and the more prepared you are, the easier it will be to entertain--even at the last minute."

The partnership with Williams marks the second launch with an interior designer for Ballard Designs. Initially, the collection will focus on tabletop, entertaining and holiday, but will expand into other categories in 2015.  

"Bunny Williams is not just a design icon, but an accomplished author, a gardening guru, and a true expert in entertaining," said Ryan McKelvey, president of Ballard Designs, Atlanta. "We are constantly impressed by her style and sensibility, both in business and decorating, and collaborating with her on this collection was a natural fit for our brand."
